Mini-Cake Bonanza!

Hey guess what?

I got the oven on, people!!

I made these dinky cakes for the students who go to Equip (St. Mike's), who ate all 81 of them during their small groups! :)

They were a lot of fun to make - I used a piping bag for the first time whilst creating these bite-size treats, and I love it! (I used a plunger-type thing before, so it made an interesting change!)

My flatmates* all helped me to decorate these, too - they put the little edible ball-bearings in the centre of each cake! We were like a conveyor belt!

One of the challenges of transporting these cakes was actually getting them so that I could carry them all to the venue at once. At first I thought I wasn't going to be able to manage it, but then one of my flatmates had an idea.
This is how the cakes were transported in the end:

A couple of them did get a little squashed, but all the icing and ball-bearings stayed on at least!

I love baking, especially when I get to share it all with people - that's actually one of my favourite things about baking cake. However, it's just the funding to do them that's the problem. I do have a budget while I'm at Uni, but I have to keep a close eye on it. Not because of drinking, mind! It's because I love my food, and I tend to buy a lot of it - sometimes without even thinking about it!

I should be baking some more cakes soon though. I need to use up the eggs I have left. :P

By the way, a quick shout out to Prefontaine; they passed 1000 plays on their Soundcloud last week, so go check them out: https://soundcloud.com/#prefontaine-uk

Gotta go now peeps. Uni awaits - and the way things are sounding, a lot of cake requests await, too...


*When I say "flatmates", I generally mean "people I know who live in the same complex as me" :)
